[GRLUG] Eee PC

[David Wise]

I have a friend with an EeePC 900 that I am considering picking up for my
wife. It originally came with Windows XP, but has been running Kubuntu for
some time now. I'll be wiping it and starting from scratch and am wondering
what the desktop environment or even distribution of choice is around here.
I am most leaning toward installing LMDE, but I am open to changing that
with the right arguments.

I'm really looking for something with a decent amount of polish, but
preferably a relatively light footprint. I just saw Ubuntu Netbook remix
with the Unity desktop (whatever that is) and it looks quite intriguing. I'm
just kind of shying away from Ubuntu since I'd rather not have to reinstall
every six months.

It's an older EeePC 900 with I believe a celeron Mobile processor and an 8GB
SSD, but it has been upgraded to 2GB RAM. On second thought, is this even a
decent deal for $100?
